Lacewing (Chrysopa)



                       Period: Cretaceous

                       Age: 125 million years

                       Region: Santana Formation, Araripe Basin, Brazil





                       This delicate life form belongs to the family Chrysopidae, from the order Neuropte-
                       ra. These animals are found in North America and Europe and are able to detect
                       the ultrasounds emitted by bats. When they detect the ultrasounds used by bats
                       in order to locate them, they fold their wings up and fall to the ground, thus es-
                       caping the bat. Living things with this ability were created with the same features
                       millions of years ago as they possess today.
